+  - **Ongoing.**
 
 2. //LhARA Project progress report: // CW \\
+ -  WP2: continued progress.  
+  - Team presently analysing results of recent experiments.  Also have made some simulations while waiting for the Lancaster recruitment.

  [raw-attachment:PA2-programme.pdf​ PA2 project plan] \\
+  - Strong comment from CJ, **adopted**, present project consistently as "LhARA to serve ITRF".  Implies change in title, for example.
+  - Issue of collaboration's identity discussed.  **Agreed** that resolution of the apparent tension is likely to be that the "LhARA initiative", which is a "programme", is the function of the collaboration.  One of the three key pillars of this is the "LhARA/ITRF project".  The discussion of the LhARA/ITRF project is then consistent with a single integrated project.
+  - Concrete changes to present doc;
+   - Change title to "The integrated PA2 project plan to develop LhARA to serve the ITRF".
+   - Drop content of PM section of annex awaiting comment.\\  
  [raw-attachment:12-month-report.pdf​ 12-month report]
